Does Tweety Twump truly plan to allow the "people" to "rule" America?
Tweety stiil invokes insurgency, for rebellion, so he essentially is asking for protests from those who oppose his ideas.
Only a peaceful protest can help the cause of those who wish to make a point about the Tweety Twump Presidency. NO violence, no destruction of property - THAT will not work! Violent protests play into an autocrat's hands; violence helps the autocrat take control and limit freedom.
"Violence flares in Washington during Trump inauguration" [Dumb!]

"By Jonathan Landay and Scott Malone | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON
Black-clad activists among hundreds of demonstrators protesting Donald Trump's swearing-in on Friday clashed with police a few blocks from the White House, in an outburst of violence rare for an inauguration.
At least 217 people were arrested in the melees, police said.
The burst of civil disorder followed a fierce presidential campaign that ended in a stunning victory for Republican Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 and left the country divided.
Many of Trump's supporters traveled to Washington to cheer their new president on Inauguration Day. Tens of thousands of detractors are expected to march peacefully on Saturday."
The violent protestors are not against Tweety Twump, they are against the establishment and want to disrupt America. They are bad people.
Talking news heads have no idea why the women are protesting in Wash DC? They wonder what the goal is. It is therapy.
AND we have a divided country that must be "knit" together somehow under an obviously divisive President Trump.

Just knitting these hats makes women feel better, but is a way to manufacture hope.
"It gives me hope. Every pink hat I see is a small step toward slowly knitting our country back together."

Fake populism is the way to autocracy. I hope we have enough strong people with the power to prevent Tweety Twump's autocracy.
"The Vulnerability Of Trump’s Fake Populism"

"After just a week, despite a campaign based on faux-populism, the evidence is that Trump will be a fairly conventional right-wing Republican, one possible exception being trade, another being infrastructure.
A key question is not whether his base will notice the contradictions, but when they will notice. In the short run, he could keep fooling them, for two reasons.
While he sides with financial elites on tax and regulatory and spending issues, he can throw his base the cultural raw meat they craved, in the form of a crackdown on immigrants, embracing universal stop and frisk, doubling down on voter suppression, embracing rightwing positions on social issues generally and appointing far-right judges.
Secondly, Trump could well produce an economic boom in the near term. The stock market certainly seems to think so."
"The Pretend Populism of Donald Trump"

"For a politician who won the White House by railing against the elites and demonizing the establishment, Donald Trump presented an odd argument for why Americans should believe, as he does, that his adviser Steve Bannon is no racist, anti-Semitic ally of the alt-right.
“Steve went to Harvard,” Trump reminded about two dozen of us at The Times last week, and then, a few sentences later, added, “I think he was with Goldman Sachs on top of everything else.”
Well, that certainly settles it. . . . " lol
"Trump styled himself as a populist during his flamboyantly provocative campaign, claiming to hear, understand and channel the working-class Americans so wrongly ignored by other leaders. Sure, he flew in a private jet at an economic altitude far above theirs and lived in ostentatious splendor. He was nonetheless the “blue-collar billionaire,” to quote the oxymoron that some of his surrogates took to using." lol
I hope anyone who finds my blog and reads this gets the irony of Tweety Twump's populism, if not the outright fake-ness of it.
See, I can make u words just like Tweey's "bigly" . . . lol
Tweety's supporters are so mesmerized by his salesmanship, his huckstering, that hey still believe he is a populist no matter what he does. But the first rule of recognizing an autocrat is to believe his words and actions AS A WHOLE. Do not cherry pick to make yourself feel better. He is who he says he is, and when he lies or fakes, believe he is lying and faking.
"Trump is also considering high-level roles for the “oil mogul Harold Hamm ($15.3 billion), investor Wilbur Ross ($2.9 billion), private equity investor Mitt Romney ($250 million at last count), hedge fund magnate Steve Mnuchin (at least $46 million) and superlawyer Rudy Giuliani (estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars),” according to the Politico article. “And Trump’s likely choice for deputy commerce secretary, Todd Ricketts, comes from the billionaire family that owns the Chicago Cubs.”
That’s hardly the oddest or most unsettling part of the Trump transition, which has been a mesmerizing confirmation of so much about him, including his tendency to turn every aspect of his life into a self-aggrandizing pageant. It’s not enough for him to interview potential cabinet members: There must be photographs and footage of them coming to grovel for his favor, as if each is a courtier and he the king. Where’s the populism there?
And for all his thunderous talk before Election Day about “draining the swamp” of Washington, the water level looks fine, the mosquitoes seem unworried and the gators remain plentiful and well-fed."
